Election Year or Fear!

You’re digging the usual big hole for yourself Swale, GBN’s funding and profitability has nothing to do with the fact that it occasionally is on the right side of an issue. In media parlance I’d suggest you are indulging in a ‘smear campaign’, as you do against anyone and anything that disagrees with your entrenched views.

Still, you’re clearly less unhinged than normal as you’ve not gone off on your Nazi analogies. Yet

its your opinion that GB News is occasionally on the "right" side of an issue, and certainly in this case I'd be inclined to say you have proven your opinion to be worthless.

I have a simple rule of thumb for anybody who watches GB News or in any way defends it - they aren't capable of critical thought and aren't worth arguing with.

Surely the whole point of news media (not that GB News is in any way a news media), is to inform and challenge? If one just wants ones own prejudices, pre formed opinions and views parroted back at you, then your not really in the game are you?

I do laugh when you accuse me of an entrenched views! Being able to spot a fraud and question why a media organisation that is clearly unviable is being funded actually shows independence of thought. My views are far from entrenched, they change but I do set store by verifiable sources and actual evidence, made up fake news and the misrepresentation of the facts less so. Its true all media to an extent misrepresents a story or news, but GB News does it as a matter of course, that should be enough to make any vaguely sentient person question it.

I actually said that there is often a grain of truth in the puerile right wing propaganda this media pushes out. That's a well known tool used by such organisations and the people within, it enables the useful fools, such as yourself to claim there is some credence to what it says. I mean how simple minded do you have to be to defend a channel spewing out falsehoods and hate on the basis it got one thing right?

The funding and profitability is key to understanding what GB News is about, it goes to the heart of why it pushes the material it does, if your incapable of recognising that, and worryingly not perturbed about it, you confirm my thoughts on your willingness to accept crap that confirms your innate prejudice.

How am I indulging in a smear campaign when I've merely quoted the facts? You claim to do research, so please do come up with the evidence that what I've said about GB Nes its output and its funding is a "smear"?
